Almost Local: Living Abroad Stories is a podcast about people building lives and finding home abroad.
Formerly Expat Experts and hosted by Marc Alcobé, the show features thoughtful, long-form conversations with people living abroad around the world. Each episode explores what it really means to start over somewhere new — from culture shock and identity shifts to belonging, community, and the slow process of becoming almost local.
Rather than checklists or relocation advice, Almost Local focuses on the human side of life abroad: the emotional transitions, the in-between moments, and the personal stories behind international moves.
Whether you’re already living abroad, considering a move, or simply curious about life elsewhere, this podcast offers honest stories and nuanced perspectives on making a home far from where you started.
